deloid Report post Posted May 23, 2012 I am a big fan of convex blades and though I have a fancy 2X72 grinder, Tormek, Diamond, wet stones and all forms of vintage stones I use an alternate method for keeping the convex geometry sharp on my knives (including my head knife). I just noticed the my older Osborne splitter has a bevel but my chase has a convex blade. I'll use the chase for "push/pull" splitting (not skyving) because of the blade geometry. Does anyone know if the Old twist handle Osborne originally came with a convex grind? I'm going to make a new blade out of 1095 and will make it convex (on one side) but I was wondering if this was historically correct.
